DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2970
Abstract: Abstract Avian species persistence in a forest patch is strongly related to the degree of isolation and size of a forest patch and the vegetation structure within a patch and its matrix are important predictors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.08.038
Abstract: Abstract Studies at multiple scales are essential to obtaining a holistic view of bee conservation. We aimed to detect the main factors that should be considered in a multiple-scale approach for small forest patches in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117626
Abstract: Abstract Many aspects of the urban environment have the potential to affect tree growth and physiology in forest patches, including higher temperatures, elevated CO2 concentrations, and modified soil biogeochemistry from increased nutrient and heavy metal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118095
Abstract: Abstract The Atlantic Forest biome, a biodiversity hotspot historically threatened by deforestation and human disturbance, has recently seen a net gain in native forest cover due to changes in land use, enactment of new laws,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pecon.2017.08.005
Abstract: Abstract The extinction of frugivores has been considered one of the main drivers of the disruption of important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Many defaunated forests are too small to restore function by reintroducing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.12942
Abstract: In tropical regions, fires propagate readily in grasslands but typically consume only edges of forest patches. Thus, forest patches grow due to tree propagation and shrink by fires in surrounding grasslands. The interplay between these… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v65i4.3472
Abstract: Agriculture driven landscape changes has caused worldwide forest loss and fragmentation, seriously affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services, amongst which pollination is remarkably important. Bees are an essential pollinator group for forest plant populations and food… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2020.00236
Abstract: Featuring a transitional zone between closed forests and treeless steppes, forest-steppes cover vast areas, and have outstanding conservation importance. The components of this mosaic ecosystem can conveniently be classified into two basic types, forests and… read more here.
